digitalmars.D - Re: If you have to learn just one programming language

For example the lambda syntax is terribly verbose in D compared to Scala
or Haskell.

It may seem surprising to you, but there is a lot of project who can't afford
using Scala or Haskell.
If you're constrained to use D at your dayjob, imagine what could be to be
forced to use C++. Wonderful hours spent finding that your destructor failed
because it called virtual functions, while your stack trace magically disappear
and you have to wait recompilation for 10 min.

The world would be a better place if instead of shooting in your leg you
shot your client's head off.
